ME RoTIC highlights ground-breaking technologies

Advancements in technology are crucial to improve efficiency and maintenance of rotating machinery. The Middle East Rotating Machinery Technology and Innovation Conference & Showcase (ME RoTIC), which ran from October 10th- 12th at Sofitel, The Palm Resort and Spa, Dubai highlighted some of the best practices and technologies from the GCC, Middle East and all over the world to help Oil & Gas Producers, Power Generators and Aviation industry professionals to enhance their productivity in today’s challenges environment including maintenance and reliability areas of machinery.

“We are currently in a period of unprecedented technological disruption, and as global industries transform and shape to these advances, the oil and gas industry must keep pace. Additionally, keeping rotating equipment in condition is extremely important. It will not only help address the present needs, but also equip the machinery to face harsh conditions such as more extreme temperatures, heavier loads and greater exposure to damaging contaminants in the future,” said Samuel of ALDRICH.

ME RoTIC is hosted by ALDRICH in collaboration with committee members from Saudi Aramco, Saudi Electricity Company, SABIC, Bahrain Petroleum Company (BAPCO), GASCO, Ethydco which explores latest technologies related to Rotating Machinery for various Industries provides a strategic platform for experts to engage in conversations with major stakeholders of the industry.

A report by ExxonMobil’s annual Outlook for Energy: Journey to 2040 report projects that energy demand will grow by about 25 per cent over the next 23 years. And, in 2040, it projects that oil and gas will still account for 57 per cent of the total energy mix.

“To meet that energy demand, producers will have to ensure that the rotating machinery used in oil and gas is well-maintained and equipped with latest technologies. ME RoTIC is a premier gathering that not only highlights the best practices and trends of the industry, but also serves as a driving force addressing the needs of end user and improving the overall productivity of plants and organizations,” added Samuel of ALDRICH.
